Starbuck Announces Frappuccino Happy Hour

If you love a good milkshake, or the Starbucks version the Frappuccino, then you might be interested in this deal.  Until May 12th, you can get a half price Frappuccino at your local Starbucks between 3 pm and 5pm. I had the opportunity to try the sweet drinks at a special Starbucks testing and I can attest to the fact that they are truly delicious.    The Carmel Ribbon Crunch is made of coffee blended with caramel syrup, milk and ice.  Then, it’s topped off with whipped cream and caramel sauce.  The drink is about 410 calories , but ask them to make it with skim milk and now whipped cream and you’ll save a few calories.  Starbucks barristas told The Recessionista that they can actually make this drink in 36,000 different combinations.  That’s how many ways a  Frappuccino can be customized, so don’t be afraid to ask for the drink just the way you like it.  My personal favorite is the lo-cal version of the Vanilla Blended Frappuccino which can be made at just 100 calories.
